Fall shots...
that are not of the colors, but of the elk rutting season. A few (AKA the only decent ones I have so far) I thought I would share. A few are a bit soft. Shooting the fighting elk on an 80-200 2.8 on a 2X teleconvter. 400mm handheld wide open on a 2X tele doesn't allow for very sharp images. lol

Wow, these are very impressive shots, especially to this non-technical yet highly appreciative member.

I really like all of these, especially the first one. Do you sit and wait for the "perfect shot" and then take it, or take a lot in succession and then pick out the best ones?
If any of them were "soft" I didn't notice- they all look really good! If I had any suggestion to make them even better it would be try to follow the rule of thirds (or whatever it's called)- framing your subjects like so. Keep em coming!

You aren't giving yourself enough credit, skibum. Sure, being in a park may make the subjects easier to find and photograph, but getting shots like you have most certainly have everything to do with skill.
I have to say that the first shot is by far my favorite. I love the dichotomy of the grass, snow-covered mountains, and crisp blue sky.
